Sepia Saturday 129 : 9 June 2012

Now that is what I need - a nice cup of tea. Things have been rather hectic of late and I have been a somewhat intermittent and rather unreliable sepia poster. For this, I offer my sincere apologies. I would like to say that, from now on, things will get better - but they won't as I am about to go on holiday. But fear not, my Sepia friends, I have arranged for Sepia Saturday to be looked after in my absence by someone you will all be very familiar with - Little Nell (Marilyn Brindley). She has kindly agreed to look after things until I return in time for SS134 on the 14th July and from next week onward she will be choosing the theme archive images and looking after the Sepia Saturday Blog. I can't think of a more creative pair of hands to look after things whilst I circumnavigate the Mediterranean. Whilst she posts the weekly call, I will be sitting in my cabin being served tea from a silver teapot rather like the lady in this week's prompt image (and yes, you have guessed it, I have gone and forgotten where I got the image from again - I need a holiday). Whilst sipping tea served from a silver teapot may be a somewhat creative interpretation of my holiday, you are free, of course, to be as creative as you like in interpreting the theme for Sepia Saturday 129 (posting your posts on or around Saturday 9th June 2012). And as usual, you can ignore the theme all together and post whatever old image takes your fancy. Just post your posts and then add a link to the Linky List below.

For those wanting a sneak preview of the next two Sepia Saturdays, here it comes.

If I can find a WiFi connection whilst I am away I will be following from afar. I am sure that Sepia Saturday will go from strength to strength in my absence. See you all soon, Alan

Alan, I hope that you have a wonderful vacation. Good pick choosing Little Nell!

This week I chose a fun story from Tin Pot Valley ... this isn't a long nor intense post, and I hope that you guys will enjoy it. Can't wait to read all of your posts, because I know that I will enjoy them.

I'm trying this week to exonerate myself from a previous post which offended a family member of the person I was writing about. There's a lesson to be learned here. Make sure you only say nice things about people and also be aware that relatives of some of these sepia photos that we blog about are still around. Mea Culpa.

You know the expression:Tea, coffee, or me?Well, neither, actually, at least to start with.I give you something not sepia, but vintage for sure!!If anyone has info to provide about what i'm showcasing in this post, it'd be most welcomed.:)~ HUGZ

There seems to be an issue with the Linky Link at the moment, it vanishes intermittently. I suspect that this is a temporary problem with Blogger or with Linky and will sort it self out soon. If not .... I'm glad I am about to vanish on holiday!!

Sepia Saturday

Launched by Alan Burnett and Kat Mortensen in 2009, Sepia Saturday provides bloggers with an opportunity to share their history through the medium of photographs. Historical photographs of any age or kind (they don't have to be sepia) become the launchpad for explorations of family history, local history and social history in fact or fiction, poetry or prose, words or further images. If you want to play along, all we ask is that your sign up to the weekly Linky List, that you try to visit as many of the other participants as possible, and that you have fun.
